Wash the dal. In a large non-stick saucepan add the dal, turmeric,
asafetida, and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce
the heat to low and simmer, partially covered for 20-25 minutes,
until the dal is cooked to a thick puree. Stir occasionally to
prevent sticking. Remove from heat.
Heat saute medium in a non-stick skillet or wok. Add dried red
chilies and stir until they turn light brown. Add mustard seeds, stir
until they crackle. Add cumin. Stir. Add onions, saute until
translucent, 1-2 minutes. Add garlic and green chilies and stir until
onion turns light brown, 2-3 minutes. Add tomato, stir until the
skin curls. Add dal and 1-1/2 cups water. Stir, boil and cook for
4-5 minutes until it is a medium soupy consistency. Add spinach,
cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Add salt, sprinkle with cilantro and
nutmeg.

I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli.
